    Lenovo N23 80UR with a Bad Bios (Probably?)

    Hi all,

    I recently received a Lenovo N23 80UR with a (probably) bad / wrong BIOS?

    The laptop turned on but goes straight to boot menu and all USB-related functions (including internal keyboard) are disabled.

    I suspect the laptop is either flashed with a wrong BIOS or corrupted BIOS.

    Can anyone share the BIOS for the laptop? Thanks!

    The S/N: YD0250MP and attached is the current BIOS of the laptop.

        Summary of BIOS Whitelist Removal Problem


        Problem:
        I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
        Initial Findings:
        • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
        • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
        • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
        Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
        • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.
        • I concluded that the

        Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
        by Wahaz
        Hello,

        I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
        So I thought it was a Bios problem.
        I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

        Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 Desktop - Corrupt BIOS
        by grimacelord
        Hello there.

        I am working on a Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 desktop that currently has a corrupt BIOS and I have been unsuccessful thus far in trying to fix it myself.

        History:

        1. This computer came to me initially with an error message that said "BiInitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000001" or "0135 fan error". It would always be one of the two errors. It should be noted that when it produced the fan error, there was no physical problem with the fans. They were all spinning just fine.

        I searched for this error online and discovered...

        Lenovo ThinkPad L15 G3 Bios 1 IC conductor track
        by 1g0r
        Hello everyone,

        First, the data in brief:
        Manufacturer: Lenovo
        Model: ThinkPad L15 G3 21C3-0016GE
        motherboard: LG4 LT5 ADL RT UMA MB 8L - 448.0PZ26.0011
        IC Bios 1: MX77L25650F
        IC Bios 2​: MX25L25673G
        EC Chip: NPCX997KAABX

        So far I've been a silent reader, but now I need your help

        I bought a laptop. The seller said the bios was locked. I was looking for a way to remove this ban.
        I then got the CH341A and pulled the corresponding files from here https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...evices-and-ele...
        The laptop was brought in with a BIOS problem and a password. After reading the dump, the information was damaged. I ask for help in the BIOS with a clean ME region. Motherboard 213035-1. Serial number: PW+04e998, Type number: 21c3-0016ge

        The laptop was working fine, the only problem was that when I turned it on, the screen was hard to turn on, it would wait for about 30-40 seconds before an image appeared on the screen.
        Initially, I updated from windows to Intel Management Engine 11.8 Firmware, restarted, everything was fine.
        Then I updated the bios, also from windows, to the last vs, vs 46. It restarted, those lines with bios update progress appeared, restarted and that's it, since then...
